Princess, please respect yourself!

Chapter 436 The Competition Ends

Luo Xing basically did not participate in the marking after the competition. In this link, he only did a good job of ensuring and keeping confidentiality.

There's nothing wrong with that.

I no longer live in Zhenwuyuan. I come here every morning and again in the afternoon, and then go back to No. 1 Pingkangfang.

If nothing happens, he will practice double cultivation with Hong Ying. Although there are many women in the family, he will not touch them casually. Only Yun Ni, she is addicted to eating secretly.

I even like to bring Hong Ying along with me. Frankly speaking, it is more exciting this way.

I really don't know how she got here in the past few decades. Once the ban was broken, she really had nothing to worry about.

Even Su Manqing knew about this. She was greatly favored by Luo Xing. Even if she knew about it, she didn't say anything. After all, the biggest thing now is the wedding between "Ye Liuli" and the Wolf Lord of Xirong.

For this matter, she was too busy to come to Pingkangfang.

However, Qingyi's belly is getting bigger day by day. Xiaoyao Hou Mansion is about to give birth to a little prince. If it is a boy, he will be the first heir to the Hou Mansion.

The wedding date of the Wolf Lord of Xirong and the Princess Liuli has been decided, just three days after the imperial examination examination is completed.

The Fifth Prince presided over the grading work, and he had already become familiar with it. The first question relied on memory and was an objective question.

It's equivalent to filling in the blanks, as long as the answer is correct, you will get points.

Originally, grades were used to evaluate the standards, but now according to Luo Xing's suggestion, a hundred-point system is adopted, which is much simpler and clearer.

Moreover, with standards and easy quantification, there is no need for professional marking officers to grade test papers.

Moreover, candidates can also estimate their scores based on the scoring criteria, which can also be used as a basis for appeals.

Of course, in addition to right and wrong, the imperial examination also has a subjective scoring element, which must be carried out by professional marking officers.

Subjective points include neat handwriting and whether there are stains on the paper. These are subjective points, but they can also be quantified and cannot be scored arbitrarily.

Transcripts cannot copy everything about the candidates' papers, so they have the power to grade freely.

If a certain test paper is recognized by a marking officer and deliberately gives a high or low score, there is nothing you can do. However, the exam uses a certain font, and you cannot write whatever you want.

Basically, this kind of situation is too rare. If a candidate encounters it, it is a stroke of luck.

The second and third questions are both subjective questions, and the scoring is also subjective. However, the score of each test paper must be scored by at least three marking officers, and the final score is determined by the district chief marking officer.

"Your Majesty, the grading process for this year's University of Science and Technology competition has been completed. According to the new scoring system and evaluation standards, we finally left more than 3,000 people, including about 100 women."

In the Changming Hall, Emperor Yongxi summoned the fifth prince, Luo Xing and the fourth prince to report on the examination results.

The reporting work is headed by the Fifth Prince.

After all, he was very familiar with the process of the imperial examination competition. Luo Xing was only responsible for it, and the fourth prince was purely learning from it.

"There are many more scholars to be admitted this year than in the past. Uncle Five Emperors, these 3,000 people are all talented people. Even if there are no Jinshi candidates, if there are those who are willing to serve the imperial court, they can be admitted. Each department of the imperial court also needs to be enriched. As long as young blood is given a promotion path, the imperial examination may not be the only way to enter the officialdom."

"Your Majesty is absolutely right. I will consider selecting some people as appropriate and give them a chance to enter the officialdom." The Fifth Prince nodded.

"Luo Aiqing, after the competition is over, you are going back to Yangzhou. What do the parents of Yangzhou think about these new scholars and failed students?"

"I want to take you away, Your Majesty, will you allow it?"

"Hahaha, Luo Aiqing has a really big appetite. He actually wants to eat all the Jinshis in my subject. Yangzhou is only so big, can it fit in?"

"Your Majesty, being an official and being a scholar are two different things. Some people are good at academics, but that is not necessarily true for being an official. Your Majesty appoints me as the governor of Yangzhou. Naturally, he hopes that I can set an example in Yangzhou, so , I request your Majesty to give you a few more places." Luo Xing bowed and said.

"This time, the imperial court will admit a total of 300 Jinshi. There will be 270 men and 30 women. I will make the decision. How about giving you 30 people?"

"Your Majesty, are you free to choose?" "Except for the top three, you can choose anyone else." Emperor Yongxi waved his hand.

"Can the top three female Jinshi scholars also be allowed?"

"of course."

"I understand." Luo Xing bowed and took a step back.

"Fourth, how do you feel following the Fifth Emperor's Uncle and Xiaoyao Hou these days?" Emperor Yongxi asked the fourth prince Ye Kaisheng.

"My son, I learned a lot from Grandpa Five Emperors and Xiaoyao Hou and benefited a lot."

"Tell me, what have you learned?"

"My son has learned their way of dealing with people. Grandpa Wuhuang has a kind and honest temperament, and his treatment of others makes people feel like spring breeze. He is admired in his heart, and his knowledge is outstanding. My son feels that his talents are shallow and his knowledge is shallow, and he is not as good as the one who is in danger. However, Xiaoyaohou is upright and can't rub the sand out of his eyes." , Fair and decisive in dealing with things, which is extremely convincing..." The fourth prince Ye Kai praised the two of them.

Emperor Yongxi nodded with great satisfaction.

"Fourth has done a good job on this mission. I will reward you with a mansion."

"Thank you, father." Although the fourth prince Ye Kai was granted the title of king, he had no other residences outside the palace except for a residence in the Zhenwu Courtyard.

Now that he is rewarded with a house, it is different. He has a lot more freedom, and the prince can build a mansion.

He can legitimately recruit troops.

Except for the youngest, all four of Emperor Yongxi's five sons have reached adulthood. Now only he and the second oldest are crowned kings.

The second child was granted the title of King of Yan, but the prince's fiefdom was in Youzhou, so he basically had no chance of becoming the emperor, and he had no intention of doing so.

Neither the eldest nor the third child have been crowned kings yet, but they both have villas outside the palace, but no mansions. Only those who are crowned kings can have mansions.

The eldest son and the third son are competing for the position of prince, so it doesn't matter to them whether they can be crowned king or not.

The question is, Emperor Yongxi has begun to divide the throne among his sons. When will the crown prince be appointed?

No one knows his thoughts.

To determine the title of the top three, a special test is required, which is the palace examination. The emperor personally presides over the examination.

All those who are selected as Jinshi must participate.

The top three are not necessarily based on grades. As long as you can get into the eyes of Emperor Yongxi, even if you are the 300th Jinshi, you may become the top scholar in this subject.

However, there are also artificial considerations in how the top 300 are ranked. The emperor generally does not change the rankings after the imperial review, but after all, there are so many people, and many people have exactly the same final score. Who is up and who is down depends on the decision. The examiner and His Majesty took the pen out of their hands.

After all, the number of admissions is fixed, and only His Majesty has this discretion.

If he is happy, he can record a few more people. If he is not happy, he can just cross out a few people. There is no problem in that.

Is it fair? No.

But so what?

The current imperial examination is fair enough. It can be said that previous imperial examinations may not reach a level that has never been achieved before or will be achieved since.
